The edited TV version episodes were shown at AWA. In the edited episodes, he doesn't have anything in his mouth (no cigarette or lolipop). On the DVDs, he of course will have a cigarette.
The opening and ending are both English versions of the original Japanese openings and endings (like so many of FUNimation's other anime). |

It's always best to see something from the beginning. But they're starting at a real fresh point that couldn't be better. No filler in sight, with some great stuff coming up. Plus a lot of the needed backstory when showing some characters are supplied with some flashbacks. It's not like DBZ where Funi "took over" right in the middle of a fight. |

I honestly wonder how much higher ratings this new dub is going to pull in. I'm hoping for "astronomical", but high DVD sales would be better in the long run, I guess. Hopefully high enough for Toonami and VIZ to realise that the can have a hit other than Naruto on the table.
I like what I've heard so far. Englih opening and closing, FUNi giving 160% effort in this, the only thing I'm worried about are the voices, but I think they'll grow on me. |

They are keeping the original openings and endings except they are sung in english by both Vic Mignogna for the opening and the ending is sung by Kristine Sa

FYI, as far as I know, Digimon is the only show to use the flashes, Tamers coming to mind. |

We've seen the openings in Japanese do ok for Naruto, Bleach, etc. Why re-do these ones when they are perfectly fine in Japanese? (Says someone who pre-ordered the last theme collection from CDJapan & listens to it regularly. And who cringes at the stupid metal DBZ themes & even if I'm listening in English, I either skip the English DBZ themes or pop back to Japanese.) I'd rather hear Kappei Yamaguchi & the Japanese VA's do "We Are" & Bon Bon Blanco did a GetBackers theme I enjoyed so no matter where we are on the eps, did we need the songs in English? |

Ummm, you're mistaken. I guarentee you FUNi used those for their Toonami edits of DBZ & YYH. & 4Kids was even worse. They either wouldn't show the punch at all, or add a more cartoonish effect to cover it up. As I stated before though, the flashes are extremely quick & usually go unnoticed unless you're actually looking out for them. |

I imagine the funimation dub will be pleasing. Will try to watch but if I can't get to I'll try to not forget about the new dub.

Wow, like, everyone in this show is cast quite well.
The only character I haven't heard well is Chopper, but that's more to do with the episode not having much from him. I also love how toned down the performances and tone of the show. |

I'm pleasantly surprised. FUNi's dub (the parts that I saw of it, anyway) didn't suck. Sanji and Zolo don't sound retarded anymore. I fear that I may have missed too much by avoiding a lot of the previous episodes before tonight. (Actually, that's a year's worth of shows, so never mind.

I have to say, I'm quite impressed with this dub. All the parts are well casted, and the dubbed opening and ending sound great. I'm looking forward to next week, can't wait to hear Buggy and Ace.

I dunno, sounded to me like they were pretty close to the 4Kids actors. The only drastic voice changes were Sanji and Zolo and I actually liked the 4Kids version of Zolo better (Sabat has a very small vocal range, it's either the "Vegeta voice" the "Piccolo voice" or the "Yamcha voice", none of which sound right coming from Zolo IMO). But there's a difference between voices and acting (and writing). It was nice not hearing the stupid Luffy laugh and actually hearing silence when there's silence (and there was a lot of silence in this episode). And no puns, that was a nice change, so were the real guns. It's like watching an entirely different show.
